I'm a friend to the wind but she ain't mine to own
She belongs to the field where the wildflowers grow
I sing her sad songs whenever she leaves
All about my heartache and the places I've seen
I know she's going to go no matter how I weep and moan
I'm a friend to the wind but she ain't mine to own
I'm familiar with father time, as a flawless enemy
He haunts me with age and troubles of jealousy
He's a mean ol' condition, no medicine can cure
It's like fighting fire with fire, expecting not to burn
He'll leave you behind with little left to show
I'm familiar with father time but he ain't mine to own
I'm in love with a girl that I don't deserve
But I never question fate or how a miracle's suppose to work
She stuns like the sunrise that's peering through the trees
I tell her that I love her more than she loves me
I know someday my cup will overflow
Cause I'm love with a girl and she ain't mine to own
I'm love with a girl but she ain't mine to own
